The Bournemouth one is the Cl.44 Guppy, or at least that was there until fairly recently and I don't think it has been airworthy for some time now

The owners of the Guppy at Bournemouth reckons it will fly out this year. :huh:

No one can see this happening, but the man says it will. :pop:

AFAIK there are no other CL-44's in existence although they may be some chunks. :unsure:

This one above was one of the lengthened CL-44J's :D

I saw and photographed a few CL44s at Kai Tak 1975-7 if anyone is interested in seeing them.

As it was referred to above thought I would post this again, here's a pic of the Conroy Cl.44 taken at Stansted in the early 1970s and which is now at Bournemouth (I originally posted in my Stansted slide scans topic)
